Jordan’s foreign ministry has called for an immediate halt to Israel’s attacks on Lebanon and described the deadly assault on the Lebanese military convoy as “a blatant violation of the sovereignty, security, and stability” of the country, Al Jazeera reports.

Fouad Majali, a spokesperson for the Jordanian foreign ministry, sent condolences to Lebanon’s government and the families of the victims and reiterated Amman’s “unwavering support” for the country, according to the official Petra news agency.

Majali “also stressed Jordan’s support for the Lebanese government’s efforts to assert its sovereignty over all Lebanese territory, reactivate its national institutions, and ensure that weapons are solely in the hands of the state”, the agency reported.
